In his book, "The Trial of Hissein Habré: The International Crimes of a Former Head of State," Emmanuel Guematcha delves into the trial of Hissein Habré, the former Head of State of Chad, who was accused of committing crimes against humanity, war crimes, and torture during his rule from 1982 to 1990. The book explores the process that led to Habré's trial and conviction by the African Extraordinary Chambers in 2016 and 2017. Guematcha examines the failed attempts to prosecute Habré in the Senegalese, Chadian, and Belgian courts and discusses the mobilization of victims and the involvement of non-governmental and international organizations. He provides a detailed account of the particularities of the Extraordinary African Chambers, discusses the establishment of Habré's criminal responsibility, and presents the trial through the testimonies of several victims, witnesses, and experts. These testimonies shed light on the experiences of individuals subjected to international crimes. The author also questions the impact and significance of the trial in Africa and beyond.
